James LaChat has been with Bedore Tours since January 2017. He has an extensive driving background, and we are honored he made his home with Bedore Tours. Every month James excels and exceeds our expectations. He focuses intently on smooth, efficient driving, and his monthly idle times are consistently improving. We have nev...er had any cause for concern as far as the safety of our passengers or upkeep of the bus.

Scientists at Argonne have invented a new foam, called Oleo Sponge, that not only easily adsorbs spilled oil from water, but is also reusable and can pull dispersed oil from the entire water column—not just the surface.

There's always space to innovate and create ways to reduce energy consumption. This is a really interesting video about how a green roof helped reduce the carbonfoot print of a huge building in New York City!

#Congratulations to Phyllis Thomas and @Adventure Tours for winning the eRating.org Driver of the Month #Award for! Sponsored by Motor Coach Industries​!

Since I have been here at Adventure Tours, Phyllis has been one of the sweetest drivers I have met. She has a remarkable manner, which is the first thing I noticed about her. Every day I work with Phyllis she proves herself to be a thorough professional and gives off a positive demeanor at all times. She knows her bus from f...ront to back, and she ensures the bus is in perfect condition before every trip. Phyllis pledged to be a part of the Idle-Free/eco-Driver program a couple years back; and she took the information and succeeded greatly. She's very mindful of when, where, and how to idle the bus, and she teaches what she learned fron the eRating programs to other drivers in her down time. She goes above and beyond to live her PLEDGE of being an Eco-Driver and being Idle-Free. She's our greatest example of a wonderful driver. I wish I could nominate her every month for the award!

Phyllis is very knowledgeable of our operations, and she helps to train other drivers too. She gets glowing recommendations and comments from our clientele for her knowledge of the city's different historic sites. Her professionalism is unparalleled, and the clients that get on her bus love her. They always say she is personable and has a positive attitude. She gets everything straight, she is always on time or earlier, and she turns in all of her paper work with no problems. She's a great nominee and absolutely deserves the award.

#Congratulations to Michael Anderson and @Adventure Tours for winning the eRating.org Driver of the Month #Award for! Sponsored by Motor Coach Industries​!

"Michael Anderson has served as motorcoach operator for Adventure Tours over 15 years. He is a complete professional – as a human being, I know no one who is kinder. Over 4 years ago, Mike pledged to become a part of the idle free program; since then he has shown exceptional service in the utilization of his learned techni...ques & knowledge of the idleFree & ecoDriver practices. He has consistently been among our most efficient and lowest idle time operators.

Since the day that Mike joined our organization, we have had little to worry about as far as the route and timings of our buses. His navigation skills are as sharp on a standard map as they are on the GPS. We have never had any cause for concern as far as the safety of passengers or upkeep of the bus. Mike’s extraordinary ability to get along with people from all walks of life - adults and children alike - is perhaps what makes him the most popular person in the company. We give him our highest recommendation, without reservation, for eRating Driver of the Month; every month."

Take a look at all the EPA has accomplished since it was founded in 1970 by President Richard Nixon. Did you know that it was founded after the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught on fire in 1969 because it was so polluted? #sustainability#environment#EPA

The partial meltdown in March 1979 of the Unit 2 reactor at Three Mile Island was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history. EPA was designated as the lead agency responsible to monitor off-site radiation levels.
